Only stinging nettles in New Zealand :) And haven't found anything bad to get into in Nevada yet :P and I sure don't try.

Arg! I hate stinging nettles! Used to get mixed up in them all the time as a kid. We'd follow the creek in our backyard as far as we could go, trapsing (sp?) all over the woods, I'd come home with white nettle bumps all over my arms and legs. Itches so bad!!

Ghost story update:

So we've had a bunch of little happenings in our house over the last year, Madeleine hearing her name being called multiple times a week, a pillow flipped over away from Max when he tried to pick it up (Which freaked the HELL out of him!), odd things in pictures-like my blog photo, looks like theres a sheer fabric in front of my face.... small unexplainable things.

Anyway, my brother, who's living in our basement (where Maddie hears her name being called and I see flashes of something walking up and down the stairs out of the corner of my eye-frequently) asks me last night if I've ever experienced anything odd. I think I surprised him when I said yes. He said on Monday morning, everyone was gone for the day and he jumped in the shower. When he got out of the shower, in the fog on the mirror, he saw, in perfect script, and recently written "Hello xoxo" at a diagonal at the top of the mirror! It wasn't there the night before when his girlfriend showered and it wasn't there that night when she showered again. He never wiped it off and he said the writing was way too thin to have been a fingertip and way too perfect to be done by hand. He said he didn't feel uncomfortable or anything, it was just odd...

What do you think?!?!

I think you probably do have a ghost in your house :blink: Count me in the realm of believers, having lived in a 'ghostly' house myself. (twice, in fact - two of them) and no, it wasn't just me either what noticed it.

How old is your house and do you know any of its history? What has happened in the house previously usually seems to account for the ghostly apparitions and strange happenings. I never actually saw anything but you sure could feel it, and the things that moved during the night of their own volition, and the gunshots that rang out :unsure: and the way the kittehs would run to the same (front) door each night about the same time of night when there was nothing there :o (that I could discern). And that was just my last house....

Wow, Rah-shcellle. . ....... . . .. . ...... . . ......((((((((heebie-heebie-jeebies))))))). . . . . .... .. . ..

These kinds of stories completely fascinate me. I am a pragmatist, but I somehow firmly believe that we do not simply "stop" when death happens. I have seen and heard spirits throughout my life, and of my dad, I think, most recently. So, I'm completely ready to believe that there is a spirit in your house. I know you've mentioned these ghostly things before.. . ..have you told us whether or not you know the history of your house?

SO fascinating! And not really psilly, I suppose. . . . ...... . perhaps this is a Psilly Pspirit you have hanging around. Test it out... . . . . .leave out a note stating that you wish to see evidence of thumb size.... ...... . ..

This is also my 2nd haunted house. The other one is from when I was a kid. It's a crazy story, I'll tell ya's later when I have more time-I'm a slow typer :rolleyes:

The house was built in 1914, I don't have any history on it farther back than the 70's. The 3rd story was added on sometime in the 80's, so the basement and part of the main floor are original to the house. The photo and the pillow incident both happened on the 3rd floor though. I'm not sure how to go about getting the history on the house...

Woah Rah-shell! :o Sounds like yer house may well be haunted. I know that I have seen my grandparents who appeared to me years after they were gone.

I wouldn't be scared either--from what you've said before and now this, it sounds like whomever is lurking means your family no harm.

I wonder if the thumb rule applies for ghosts.... :unsure:

Great Rey-schelle. Love the friendly ghosts!

When J (now 17) was very little, after a nap or in the morning, he would tell me he saw a "grandpa". Called all older people "Grandmas" or "Grandpas". He seemed to realize there wasn't an actual man in his room. I asked him if that was scary. He said, "No. He smiles at me." Even to this day he sort of remembers and says the grandpa wasn't scary but a nice happy safe feeling. We are the only ones who have lived in our house and before that it was cow pasture & before that probally just tall grass prairie with a swale (drainage only creek / dry creek). My grandmother was alive and kept saying that her husband would adore the boys if he was alive. So maybe?

WIH is everyone?

OK, so I sort of accidentally signed up on an on-line dating thing. I guy contacted me and it turns out he's a writer (published 'n everything). Anyway, I asked him to send me a piece of fiction he'd written and in return I'd send him a poem. Well, he critiqued it, 'cause that's what he does, and it is the weirdest thing ever to have someone analyse my poetry. Even I don't analyse my poetry.

I sent him 'how doth the little cat' last night and he returned this whole long commentary about meter and rhyme and use of concrete and abstract and all kinds of stuff I never considered 'cause I just write to express emotion.

It's all very curious.

oh yeah, and I totally believe in ghosts. When I went to Auschwitz I somehow ended up touring the camp all by myself. It has been left as it was found, the buildings intact, some of them with the collected concrete memories of the inhabitants - shoes, luggage, etc.

Anyway, walking through the buildings and the along the paths, the whole place swirls with emotion: sadness, fear, confusion, despair, it's just everywhere. In one building the upstairs was open and as I went to go up, I put my hand on the railing. The intensity of emotion that came through the touch made me gasp and let go and step back.

I am a scientist. I am cold, analytical. I require proof. I was not walking along in a haze of romantic supernatural thoughts. I was not looking for that.

I believe in ghosts.

My little technician has severe body-image issues and I was looking for stuff on line showing photo-shopping of models to show her that what exists in magazines isn't real. Anyway, one of the articles had a link to a body image quiz. After I took it, I discovered that it was this on-line dating thing. I figured 'what the hell' and finished signing up. Mind you, one of my profile pics is me in the mask preparing to demolish my kitchen,

so it's not like I'm really looking.

My 'about me' section is a list of things with the the comment "One of these things is not true".

WAIT! WAIT! Gaaaaaaahhhhhh.. . . ..Jyesss, before you arrange to meet this writer/editor/critic, Leeeeesargh is correct -- some things MUST be known ahead of time. You need to send him another poem.

Oh Mystery Man,

Do we dare to meet?

Are you recklessly messy,

or obsessively neat?

Do you roll your TP to the front or the back?

Do you snore? Do you stink? Dentures covered in plaque?

Are you five hundred pounds? Scoff at exercise?

But most vital of all.... . . . .. . .... .... . ...I need your thumb size.

Just got a call from my college age niece which is odd and my first thought was something happened to her car & she couldn't get a hold of anyone else. Her good friend of many years, whom I have met a few times and found to be a delightful girl, just got dxed with celiac disease!. Talked with friend briefly and will send her an email. Sounds like it was : "You've got it. Good luck with that".

Hi, Hon, if you're reading this! Told her to come on here, so I may have to watch myself! :P

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
